12th Annual Golf Classic

Final plans are being made for the 12th Annual Desert Diamond Classic Charity Golf Tournament and Kick-Off Party. All that’s missing is you.

For twelve years Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment has hosted the charity golf tournament to raise money for Tohono O’odham Nation’s organizations to benefit 3 specific areas of education, cultural and youth. It’s a unique event; giving golfers a chance have fun, become more educated and giveback. Festivities begin Thursday (3/19/15) evening at the beautiful Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment at Tucson hotel property and a full day of golf and fun on Friday (3/20/15) at the wonderful Randolph Golf Complex. This year’s beneficiaries will be donated to the following areas: Domestic Violence prevention, Veteran’s programs, and Elder’s Garden.

Cost for a four-man team is $2,500, and $500 for a tee sign. The tournament is at the Randolph Golf Complex. Register early because the tournament has sold out every year. Check-in and breakfast starts at 6:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. More sponsorships are available.

If mixing and mingling is more your speed, the stimulating Kick-Off Party is Thursday, March 19th at the Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment at Tucson. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $50 per person, $75 a couple. Tournament golfers can attend the Pairings Party as a part of their registration.

Guests get to mingle, enjoy Hors d’oeuvres and shop in the enticing concept shop. This year’s offerings include a TVs, gift certificates, artwork, sports memorabilia, and jewelry.
